number one, before she even got into this courtroom, she was at least three times a liar to law enforcement officials about what happened at travis alexander's home, and she would change her story upon learning they knew more than she thought they knew. number two, she contends that she shot him first, and then forgets all about the rageful stabbing. the m.e. says it was more likely that he was stabbed first and then finished off with a shot. and then she reports that an old boyfriend, bobby, was reported to the police when he was mean to her, but travis, who she contends was always mean to her, never reported to the police. jose baez, i want you to step in now, because we are now asking for additional benefits of the doubt from these jurors. you had a client, casey anthony, who got a lot of benefit of the doubt from jurors. where do you see when we get to this point in the trial, it going with jurors? >> well, what i think needs to be explained throughout the course of this case is that everybody lies when confronted by the police. i would say a good majority of people who are questioned,
